OEM easy installation

OEM installation using the TFTP method

Flash instruction using initramfs image:

1. Prepare TFTP server with an IP address “192.168.2.36”

2. Connect your PC to Port1 on SKS8300-8X

3. Power on SKS8300-8X and interrupt by Ctrl + B

4. Login to the vendor CLI by Ctrl + F and “diagshell_unipoe_env”

5. Login to the U-Boot CLI by “debug_unish_env” command

6. Enable Port1 with the following commands

  rtk 10g 0 fiber1g (or fiber10g if 10GBase-*R)
  rtk ext-devInit 0
  rtk ext-pinSet 2 0
  Note: the last command sets tx-disable to low

7. Download initramfs image from TFTP server

  tftpboot 0x82000000 <image name>

8. Boot with the downloaded image

  bootm

9. On the initramfs image, backup the stock firmware if needed

10. Upload (or download) sysupgrade image to the device

11. Erase “firmware” partition to cleanup JFFS2 of stock FW

  mtd erase firmware

12. Perform sysupgrade with the sysupgrade image 13. Wait ~120 sec to complete flashing

FIXME

  1. This table is automatically generated, once the correct filters for Brand and Model are set.
  2. If you see “Nothing.” instead of a table, please edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand and Model. Just try, it's easy.
  3. If you still don't see a table here, or a table filled with '¿': Is there already a Techdata page available for XikeStor SKS8300-8X ? If not: Create one.
  4. If you see a table with the desired device data, everything is OK and you can delete this text and the <WRAP> that encloses it.
  5. If it still doesn't work: Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and contact a wiki admin (tmomas) for help.

Opening the case

Warranty

Unscrew the two screws on the bottom. You have to break the warranty seal to reach the second screw. Pull back the lower part of the case. This allows access to the upper part of the board.

To get access to the lower part you have to unscrew the three screws on the PCB. Afterwards, you have to slide back the PCB slightly (with some force) to get clearance in the front. You can then carefully lift the PCB.
